Boil-Water Advisory Lifted In Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS -- A boil-water advisory for Indianapolis Water customers was lifted Friday morning.

After running tests, officials said the water is now safe to drink.

The precautionary boil-water advisory was issued for the company's 1.1 million customers Thursday after discovering a problem at the White River treatment plant. It was scheduled to be in effect until 4 p.m.

There was no evidence that the problem with the chemical feed system that purifies the water led to any contamination, but officials said the advisory was needed as a precaution, RTV6 reported.

Several tests were done, and the advisory was lifted after the most recent results were received around 10:30 a.m. The water company's tests found no signs of bacteria, spokeswoman Carolyn Mosby-Williams said.

Indianapolis Water serves most of Marion County and portions of Hendricks, Boone, Hamilton and Hancock counties.

Indianapolis Public Schools were closed Friday due to the boil-water advisory.

Decatur and Warren Township schools also closed, but the rest of Marion County's township schools opened after a two-hour delay. The schools that opened used bottled water and paper serving trays in the cafeteria.
